Does anyone remember the argument that Actually CEOs have a Fiduciary Responsibility (to
...pollute/break the law/etc)? Particularly the whole "if the CEO is bad at making money their shareholders can kick them out and sue them" part?

No reason.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

How it is: Damn, a robot took over my job! Now I have to look for a new source of monetary income... How it should be: Yay! A robot took over my job! Now I am free to actually enjoy life!

Also, have regular session zeroes. Check in individually with players. Course correct periodically. You have way more unstated house rules than you think - or did you write down every judgement call since you started playing this ruleset?

I've seen two major directions on this: 1) oh, you specialized in Bastard Swords but I'm afraid this Holy Avenger is a Longsword, you can't use it; or 2) you wanna trade in Bastard Sword specialization for Scimitar? Yeah, sure, you've got some downtime. Related: stealth rolls.

Ah, so an elitist plutocracy deck

Huh, The Real Adjuster is early, I figured he'd wait for Luigi's trial to start for maximum drama. Oh well.

Anyone who's read the books, the palantir were universally good and reliable right?
